SINGING AND FEELING.

The Latter Always Necessary to Make the
Former II Success.
Expression is both the outward grace
and the animating soul of music. Even
children may be taught to seek it, if
they are once shown how necessary it is
to artistic effect. The superintendent of
a Western Sunday school, a hearty, ener-
getic man, who evidently understood
children, thus gave his boys and girls an
illustrated lecture on singing with a
meaning:
The performance of one song did not
please him at all, and his way of correct
ing it was very characteristic.
"Now, children" he cried, "if your
uncle were to give you half dollar, you
wouldn't go to your mother and say, in
a mournful tone of voice:
"Mamma, uncle's been and given me
fifty cents
mo, you'd rush up and exclaim,
Mamma, only fancy! Dear Uncle John
You'll never guess what he's gone and
done! He's given me a whole half a
dollar, all to myselfr
"And so you sing, as if you only half
believed it, I-loave-to tell the
sto-oryp when you should shout it with
your heart and soul"
After that criticism the children did
sing it as if they meant it, and made the
church ring with their glad young
Voices EpchdRge.

habitants of the Gland of Plumes" pass
much of their time in idleness. They
have native dances and other amusements
that are peculiar to their country. Their
love of flowers is great, and in no other
country does nature blossom with more
profuseness than in New Guinea. Those
flowers that yield the strongest scents
are the favorites, and the people deck
themselves with them until a Papuan
belle becomes walking bouquet"
They have at stated intervals feast of
flowers, when the villages resemble great
flower gardens, and when, with song and
music, the whole people celebrate far
into the mild tropic night.
Papuan marriages occupy but little
time. The contracting parties seat them
selves in front of an idol and opposite
each other. The girl then presents her
lover with some betel leaf and tobacco.
When he accepts the presents the young
couple join hands and the ceremony is
considered at an end. No priest, no
elaborate savage costume in this. The
acceptance of bit of betel leaf, and the
twain are one.
One of the queer freaks of the New
Guineans is their love for the pig. The

If Terra Del Fuego is entitled to the
appellation of 1.-THE Land of Fire." New
Guinea deserves to be called "The Land
of Plumes." 1t is the home of the most
beautiful birds that battle their plumage
in the beams of tropical sun. 1t is an
island of natural wonders, and peopled
by race of singular beings.
1t was an ancient belief that the bird
of Paradise had no feet. Linn@us
started this superstition because all the
specimens known in his day had no feet

Dreams have formed the most mystical
part of mans existence from the earliest
time. Their attempted explanation in
both prose and poetry has been varied,
and we are as far from the truth to-day
as the world was ten centuries ago.
Shakespeare tells us that
Dreams are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy;
Which is as thin of substance as the air,
And more inconstant than the wind.
So-called dream-books" are sold by
thousands to the credulous, not only
among the peasantry of Europe, but to
well-to-do people of America. 1t is men,
toned as historical fact that Napoleon
set great store on dreams as revealers of
destiny, and that this great man sought
more than one interpreter after night
of sleep and dreaming.
Every ancient court had its soothsay-
ers, part of whose business was the in
depreciation of royal dreams. Egypt
and Babylon were especially rich in peo-
